@NessIllustration can we have a sneak peak?

NessIllustration

@NessIllustration Super-cute, congratulations!

NessIllustration

@Mara-Price Thanks Mara!

idid

your illustrations are so much fun! and you've got a unique/signature palette

I am just curious, since I was reading your posts about how long does each book take for different people/project, is this a fast or long project for you? Thank you!

NessIllustration

@idid Thank you so much dear!
This one was a rather quickie project, because it's a very short book of just 3 spreads, 1 single page, a cover and 3 pages of hoops. But I had a good 2-3 months to do it which was really roomy! I was able to spread out the work in such a way that I barely felt it. Most weeks I'd be working like 4 days on other projects, and half a day on this one.

So exciting!!! Congratulations!!

NessIllustration

@Laurasketches Thank you so much dear I've been working on a lot of stuff, but since I'm now involved in projects with longer development time and with the pandemic, it's been almost a year since I actually had a book come out. Seeing a printed book for the first time, holding it, flipping through it, it really reminds you why we do this! It really feels wonderful and dang it I hope they hurry up the printing of my next one hahaha

Debra Garcia

That's so awesome! Adds to Christmas list

NessIllustration

@Debra-Garcia Awww Debra thank you, that's so sweet!

jdubz

Very cool! Congrats!

NessIllustration

@jdubz Thank you Josh! Btw I saw you have a new instagram account, add it to your forum signature so others can go follow you again

jdubz

@NessIllustration Oh thank you yeah I forgot to update it - I need to do my website as well. I tried one more time to see if Facebook would give access back and maybe I could merge the old one to it but all I get is an automated message saying "Account disabled. This is irreversible."

NessIllustration

@jdubz I'm so sorry, this is so discouraging and uncalled for

jdubz

@NessIllustration Yeah I'm an evangelist now when it comes to making sure people unlink those 2 accounts. If they were made separately apparently it isn't an issue (even if they are linked, they still stay separate). But if you made your IG account FROM Facebook directly they're basically the same account. The thing that sucks about it is there is literally no support. No one to call, or email, or message, or anything. The only thing you can find is community posts of people unable to get help. It's horribly depressing lol.

@jdubz what happened?
